Stack, to start... lilting synths, break out into a steady sure beat with flourishes of synthetic sounds. All-in-all, a good, decent instrumental piece of electronica. Deaddreamer, gets things a bit darker and is still another decent electro track, a bit more industrial. Venusaufgang definitely drops the mood, sounding like an old horror flick track to start, then an easy beat starts up, actually lightening the mood, into another reasonable bit of electronic instrumentalism. It's almost ambient. Then comes Einwurf. Slightly darker, but only just, and consistently as good an electronic track as the previous. Exitenzrand sounds like a sinister fairground and here's your first lyric in German-rap style??? EBM at best this one, sorry! Instrumentally it was good sound anyway. DBRM starts with a beat, the calling of remote sounds, that begin to build. A smattering of what could be coming emerges and at about 50 seconds to a minute it becomes itself. Again, I find myself feeling not dark or industrial, just good, common-or-garden instrumental electronica, it's shadowy at best, and that's only here and there. G2 sounds like the kind of international commons the Americans would appreciate. Musically, pretty much ambient electronica from the start. Again, the glimpse of shade about half-way through but it doesn't last long enough to be called industrial. Now, Nachtfahrt, begins more like an industrial track, tech squiggles and a slow building of structure and tune, then suddenly it just sounds like the last track played only it's twice as long. Again ambient electronic music. Juno, doesn't really present a change in much at all, sounds like a variation of the last two tracks, only with different mild flourishes of synth. Granulus, more interesting to start, better rhythmic structure, now this sounds industrial, at last! Then, Schwarzer Regen, begins curiously, tinkling bells, will it be ambient? It has some moments, but I think the voice spoils it. Lastly, Sonne über Makaai, another good ambient track. Overall, I would drop the dark, the industrial, and the voice and concentrate on being a good instrumental, electronic/electro outfit. There feels a promise within which isn't fully realised, and I end up feeling a bit confused about what I'm supposed to be listening to.
